        @moncon got mine working to with the same instructions on Tmobile USA. having the same issues, can send sms but cannot receive them. Cannot send or receive mms either.

        I've parked my damaged Cosmo so I can't currently tinker, and I can't get it repaired under lockdown 😞
        But I've ordered a new one from Planet, so I should be up and running again soon πŸ™‚
        I'll have a play with the sms settings when I get my new Cosmo, and report back here if or when I get it working.

        Update 2021/02/02:
        New Cosmo arrived πŸ™‚
        Still can't get sms receiving 😞
        Bummer, to be continued

        Update 2021/02/04:
        Tried four service providers:
        2degrees, skinny, spark, vodafonenz
        Still no joy on sms receiving
        Not giving up, to be continued

        p.s.
        The irony of having a Planet Computers keyboard but being unable to communicate by text is very clear.

          @moncon or @tac have you been able to get SMS working. I am thinking about purchasing a cosmo now after f(x)tec announced today they are having to downgrade the SoC being used in their new phone.

            Hi @dillonm
            I was interest in the Cosmo at first (that's why I created this thread) and I ordered a Pro1-X.
            I bet the "downgrade" won't be affecting people running Ubuntu Touch.
            UT does not have need for CPU power and older phones with lower specs run very smoothly.

            I think UT's experience on the Pro1-X will gain due to the gain in power consumption...
            But I'm off topic here πŸ˜‰

            I also hope the cosmo can be well supported :thumbs_up:

                    Still no joy over here on the sms receiving. Sms works both ways on my backup PinePhone, and I've tried every setting I can find on four different service providers sim cards, but still no joy on my Cosmo. I'm out of ideas. My current workaround is to reboot into Debian every now and then to check for messages, not ideal but the best I can think of.
                    Apart from that, no concerns at all. It works well in landscape with the keyboard, it's very snappy and smooth, rock solid stable, and does everything I need.

                      I think it's a super nice looking machine, and in a year or three I'll see if I can get one second hand! A new one is above budget, but I can wait...

                        @moem Cosmo Communicators are already cheap as second-hand devices (250-300 EUR). But you are probably referring to the Astro Slides, and for these, a one year waiting time (after the release in March?) might be a good guess.

                          That is still above the budget for a toy. πŸ˜‰ But I can wait.

                            a couple of fairly recent review articles about UBports on Cosmo for anyone who may be interested:

                              A formal release of this is expected to happen later this year. The company is said to be working with the UBports community and the Linux community at large to bring support for other Linux distributions to its portable computers.

                              :face_with_raised_eyebrow: interesting

                              Something more official from ubports would be great.

                                Yes, I wouldn't want to vouch for the accuracy of that statement in the article, but we can dream πŸ™‚
                                Also I just think it's good to get some publicity for the Cosmo and UBports.

                                    A Cosmo Communicator has, as if by magic, appeared in this house. Are there any instructions for installation? Please note that I'm not experienced with this sort of thing, I have only ever installed UT through the Installer.

                                          Thanks! I saw that but it's a bit over my head... Gemian install? I never heard of Gemian but it seems to be something that can be installed... (Yes, yes, I can look it up.)
                                          See, I was hoping for something a little more basic. But maybe it doesn't exist.
